When it comes to health, many people think it is necessary to nourish the stomach, protect the liver and tonify the kidney. We should pay attention to maintaining these important body organs in our daily life. Besides, we should take good care of our legs. Legs are an important part of our bodies. Without legs, there are many things in life that we can't accomplish. Our legs are also closely related to health. If we take good care of our legs, then we can be healthy.

As the saying goes, when people get old, their legs get old first, and the longer they get, the bigger they get. This sentence shows that our legs are closely related to our health. Nowadays, most office workers are sedentary. Sedentary will lead to poor blood circulation in both legs, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and heart, which will lead to various diseases. So, how should we maintain our legs in life?

First, the daily health care of legs

In our daily life, legs are used very frequently. However, some people do not pay attention to the daily health care of their legs. After a long time, there are various problems in my legs and feet. In fact, in our daily life, there is a lot of knowledge about leg health care. Let me give you a general idea.

1, we should not sleep in a bed that is too soft or too hard, otherwise it will damage the health of our waist and legs. So, how should we treat the hardness of the bed? We can lie on our backs in bed with our palms under our waist. If our hands can move freely, the hardness of the bed is moderate.

In our life, our legs are not only standing, but also sitting. We usually sit in a chair with a fixed back and sit straight. After sitting straight, our knees bend, and the height of the chair surface should be 90. The hind calves are highly parallel. You'd better not make a hard chair. There'd better be a cushion on the chair. Sitting in such a chair can give favorable support to the waist and legs and avoid damaging your health.

Nowadays, many women who love beauty wear skirts to make their legs look longer, even in autumn and winter. If our legs don't keep warm, there will be problems such as waist and leg pain. Don't blow the electric fan or air conditioner directly at our legs at ordinary times, which will make our legs feel cold.

As mentioned above, sedentary will lead to poor blood circulation and cause various diseases. If you want to keep your legs in life, you must bid farewell to the bad habit of sitting for a long time. When we are working or having fun, it's best not to sit for more than an hour. If it takes more than an hour, we'd better stand up and walk for a short distance to exercise our muscles.

Second, the leg exercise methods

There are more than 60 acupoints on our legs, including Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Weizhong and Chengshan. If we raise our legs well, then the meridians of the whole body will be unobstructed, and the body will naturally not get sick. So how should you exercise your legs?

1, walk on tiptoe

The main function of legs is walking, but different walking postures will also have different health care effects on legs. I suggest that you can walk on tiptoe at ordinary times, 100 step is enough. Walking on tiptoe can not only exercise foot muscles, but also promote the smooth flow of Yin San's meridians.

Step 2 take a walk

Walking is the simplest and most convenient way to exercise, and it can also exercise leg muscles well. You can adjust your walking speed by yourself, and usually exercise for half an hour every day. If it's a brisk walk, then twenty minutes is enough.

Step 3 walk backwards

Our usual way of walking is to stride forward. In fact, we might as well try walking backwards. Walking backwards is beneficial for venous blood to flow from nerve endings to the heart, and can effectively play the role of biped? A second heart? Function. When we go backwards, the way our brain innervates also changes, which can strengthen the activity function of the brain and prevent brain atrophy. However, everyone must pay attention to safety when going backwards. One step backwards 100 is enough.

Step 4 crawl on all fours

When it comes to the difference between animals and humans, the most obvious thing is that people can walk upright. In life, we might as well go back to nature and learn how animals crawl. We can crawl on all fours for about 50 meters every day, which can have the effect of exercising.

When we crawl on all fours, the body becomes horizontal, which can reduce the gravity on the blood vessels of the lower limbs, and the blood vessels will become unobstructed and relaxed, which is also conducive to lowering blood pressure.

Third, hot water soaking feet to prevent diseases.

In order to maintain our legs, we can soak our feet with hot water in addition to exercise. Many people think it's amazing. They have only heard of hot water soaking feet, not overheated blisters for leg health care. In fact, we can add different Chinese herbal medicines to soak our feet in hot water, which can prevent and treat different diseases.

1, insomnia

Insomnia is not a serious illness, but the taste of being unable to sleep is unpleasant. We can dry green tea and boil it, and soak our legs with green tea until our backs sweat slightly. Soaking your legs with green tea two or three times a week can calm your nerves and help us sleep.

2. Lumbar disc herniation

There are Yangfei and Weizhong points in our legs. If the meridians of these two acupoints are unobstructed, the symptoms of dizziness and backache will disappear. We can boil black grass to soak our legs, so that we can sweat a little on our backs in the future. Often soaking legs with black grass is helpful to treat the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation.

Conclusion: In everyone's eyes, legs may only be used for walking, but only by taking care of your own legs can you be healthy. Whether it's exercising or soaking your legs in hot water, these practices are very simple. You might as well go home and have a try. Health care begins with caring for your body.
